"I'm coming!"

Zijing rushed forward with an arrow step, and reached out to take the account book in Sandalwood's hand.

Luo's mother stretched out her hand from behind, but Sandalwood was not careful, and the account book was taken away by her.

"Hey." Bauhinia pulled Sandalwood to the side, she was tall and plump, her arms were long, and her strength was great, she grabbed the account book and pulled it back, Luo's mother was not only kept from the account book, but also almost dragged along.

"Why is this girl so barbaric......"

Bauhinia gave her a roll of her eyes, opened the ledger and read it.

The treasury was sorted by her, and the ledger was written by looking at the green smoke, and she knew very well which points were the key points, so it was extremely smooth to read.

"Forty-four years of Pingxi, the tenth day of the first month of March, borrowed, Hetian white jade Guanyin carved one, one foot two inches, to congratulate the birthday of the eldest lady of Wufu."

"In the forty-fourth year of Pingxi, on the sixth day of the fifth month, borrowed, a set of red gold roses inlaid with red treasures, and He Li County made the second daughter happy."

"In the forty-fifth year of Pingxi, February 12, borrowed, rosewood inlaid with a hundred treasures, hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, a large ......"

"In the forty-fifth year of Pingxi, September 13, borrowed, a set of celadon ice pattern tea sets from the official kiln, and a ...... incense burner"

"Pingxi forty-five years, October 20, branches, a box of flower soft satin, plain soft satin, new clothes for the inner house......"

"In the forty-sixth year of Pingxi, the ninth day of the fourth month, the branch, Hui ink, Sheyan, and Hu pen are a number of pen for ethnography......"

"The ...... of the Forty-sixth Year of Pingxi"

"The ...... of the Forty-Seven Years of Pingxi"

Bauhinia is straightforward and has a particularly loud voice.

Everyone in the hall was surprised at first, but then they became numb.

It's not borrowed or supported, everything is valuable, those big pieces, each piece costs thousands of silver, how many things did the lady pull from the second room. And these behaviors, at the beginning, there was a reason to send this house gift to celebrate the birthday of that house, and then it was simply what the family lacked to support anything, as if the second room and the second lady were used as the public middle school treasury.

The old lady was so stunned that she couldn't close her mouth.

Lu Shi was ashamed and annoyed when he heard it, like sitting on pins and needles, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Enough!" ”

Zijing immediately shut up, closed the account book, and said, "These things, converted at market price, are about eight thousand silver. ”

She didn't give the account book to Sandalwood, and walked directly behind Meng Qingyun and Bai Rongxin, and stuffed it into the green smoke to put it away.

The maidservants and maids in the hall were shocked, and they all lowered their heads, looked at their noses and noses, and wanted to disappear into the ground immediately. It's terrible, I don't know how many pickled and dirty things are here, and we like people like us hear it, in case a big lady is angry and kills people or something......

Of course, the eldest lady was annoyed and angry, and she shouted and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Bai Rongxin said: "I should ask the eldest lady this, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that the family is really struggling to make a living, not only do they have to pick things from the daughter-in-law's dowry when giving gifts in the public school, but even the female dependents make clothes and lack pen and ink in the genealogy, so they have to let the daughter-in-law who doesn't care about it contribute. Sure enough, it is worthy of being a scholarly family, and the Meng clan even uses Hui ink inkstone for daily study, which is really high-standard and elegant! ”

The old lady still couldn't believe what she had heard, and asked Lu Shi suspiciously: "Could it be that Gongzhong is really difficult like this?" ”

Lu Shi's face was blue and white for a while, but at this time, his state changed, he covered his face with a handkerchief, and cried bitterly.

Mother Luo knew her mind, and with many years of tacit understanding, she stepped forward and hugged her shoulders, and said with a face full of grievances: "Old lady, you have not been at home for many years, how do you know the difficulties of our eldest lady." In such a big mansion, the daily food and clothing in it are red and white, the elderly and children take medicine to see a doctor, the people outside are sophistication and ushered in, and the pen, ink and paper in the family study will feast and drink, which one is not our eldest lady? The second lady is weak and can't help, if it weren't for the eldest lady to take care of the big and small things in this house, how could there be a peaceful day for everyone? Especially the funeral of the second lady in front of him, so busy that our eldest lady can't wait to open one eye when she sleeps. But what are you doing today? This is not the face of our big lady, this is to force us to death! ”

When she threw out this big talk, Lu Shi cooperated with the sound of whimpering, crying so much that her shoulders twitched.

When the old lady saw her miserable appearance, she immediately softened, and said in a good voice: "What are you crying about, if you have grievances and difficulties, you can say it." I don't think Uncle Bai is an unreasonable person. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Rongxin in disgust.

Bai Rongxin didn't speak, bowed his head and ate tea, as if to hide his embarrassment.

Lu's cry slowly became softer.

As a result, she stopped there, but someone on her side began to cry.

Meng Qingyun twisted his body, pressed his eyes with a handkerchief, and sobbed one by one.

She is much weaker than Lu's, and she is good-looking, and when she cries, it is called a pear blossom with rain.

The old lady was most afraid of hearing people cry and wipe her tears, and said a little tired and helpless: "Why are you crying too?" ”

Meng Qingyun twitched and said, "I, I just feel wronged......"

Bai Rongxin put the tea cup in his hand on the coffee table, and the porcelain pieces collided crisply.

"Of course the child is wronged! My sister passed away, and her dowry and private property were naturally left to Yuan Niang, and these things that were borrowed by the eldest lady are now considered relics. You can't rely on the child to bully and hide it like this without knowing it, right? ”

Lu argued: "How can this be an encroachment? Since you can all check the accounts, it means that the two ladies are willing to lend. ”

Bai Rongxin: "If you borrow it, you will pay it back, when will the eldest lady pay it back?" ”

"......" Lu's momentum immediately weakened, "It's not that I'm greedy for ink, these things are all entertainment in the house." Gongzhong is indeed a little strapped now, they are all a family, and they can't come to the door to force debts like outsiders, right? ”

Meng Qingyun removed the veil covering his face and asked, "The eldest lady has seen the appearance of forcing debts outside?" ”

Lu's expression froze, and he became alert.

Bai Rongxin said quietly: "I heard that the eldest lady also has some livelihoods outside......

The old lady asked confusedly, "What kind of business?" ”

Lu pursed her lips and stared at Bai Rongxin, like a female cat who had coveted her child, if the other party had any more trouble, she would blow up.

Bai Rongxin said faintly: "Besides, the eldest lady didn't just borrow these things, Mother Luo beside you has to ...... every month for the past two years Hmmm......"

He raised his hand and rubbed his thumb and forefinger, and then glanced at the old lady's face, and the threat was overflowing.

"Enough!"

Lu Shi looked at him for a while, and finally decided to face the matter head-on.

"Our long house is not as good as the second room, I was born in a family of cultivators, there is no such rich dowry as the second lady, the long house is just relying on the share of the public middle school and a few small shops gifted by the old lady to live, the big officials in Beijing spend a lot, and they have to support the family every month. But Uncle Bai's words, if you borrow it, you will pay it back, this is the great truth in the world, I have nothing to say, please show Uncle Bai and give me a charter, I am just smashing the pot and selling iron, and I will definitely pay back what I owe you! ”
